junglerat70 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 If I wanted to build an in-ground pool, what are the steps I would have to follow to delete the ground in the area I want the pool ? I have seen mods which have in-ground pools in them so I know it can be done. I just can't figure out how ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperman35 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) In case you don't know, you can press H key whilein the Creation Kit to open the landscaping editor. You may be able to achieve your goal with landscape editing. It takes a bit of practice though. Good Creation Kit AND landscape editing and you'll find some video tutorials out there. Good luck.

junglerat70 Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 I do use the landscaping editor in the Creation Kit, mostly I use it to flatten ground in settlements. I am not knowledgeable enough to use it to remove ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperman35 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Instead of removing ground, think in terms of making a hole in the ground (i.e., a hole big and deep enough to fit the inground swimming pool). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not knowledgeable enough to use it to remove ground.You cant actually remove the ground... All you can do is reshape it,sink,raise etc...BUT...After you have edited the ground\terrain... you also have to edit the navmesh (the pathing that the NPC uses to know where to go and not to go etc..)

junglerat70 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Yeah, I tried out sinking the ground and was able to go quite deep. I'm not too worried about Navesh as a pool will be built in the hole. The floor tiles and pool tiles are all NavMeshed as needed so I don't think this will cause a problem.

niston Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I wonder how Beth did it. Punching holes into the heightmap I mean.Def not with CK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go too deep and cross the LOD it will clip into your hole when you go in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
